Sheogorath Seeing The Future?

CodyFurlong

So I was doing the Mage's Guild Quest last night, I had just completed the first part of it when you meet the Mad God for the first book. Talking to him, he mentions two events, that in the time line, haven't happened yet. How does he know of these two events? Can he see the future, or is it just a plot hole left by the makers?

Must be the cheese.

either he is mentioning a different event, the throne of madness changes hands from era to era, or the daedric princes are beings not bound by time, and the changing of the throne happend for all time, not just the 3rd+era

It was a long time ago that I did this quest; what does he say?

He mentions rebuilding the Staff Of Chaos, from the first Elder Scrolls Game, then rebuilding the Numedium, from the second Elder Scrolls game. Both of which haven't happened yet in ESO's time lime.

But has it happened in the time lemon?

two things can be happening here:

1: both the staff and the Numidium are very old. Of the Numidium, we know it was rebuild several times allready. So it is very much possible that e.g. in the first era, the staff and the Numidium have been broken allready.

2: We know that the elder scrolls can tell the future, or atleast possible futures. The origin of the scrolls is unknown, but people call them the Aedric prophecy's for a reason.

""Imagine living beneath the waves with a strong-sighted blessing of most excellent fabric. Holding the fabric over your gills, you would begin to breathe-drink its warp and weft. Though the plantmatter fibers imbue your soul, the wretched plankton would pollute the cloth until it stank to heavens of prophecy. This is one manner in which the Scrolls first came to pass, but are we the sea, or the breather, or the fabric? Or are we the breath itself? Can we flow through the Scrolls as knowledge flows through, being the water, or are we the stuck morass of sea-filth that gathers on the edge?"

Reading this quote is very simular to reading bout Anu and Padomay and how they formed the Aurbis. Within the play of stasis and play that form the Aurbis, the past present and future coexist at the same time. The Aedra and Daedra are made directly from the Aurbis (where us Nirnians and all of Nirn are created by the Aedra). It is possible that therefor their connection to Anu and Padomay is more "pure" which gives them powers simular to that contained in the elder scrolls.

Either way. Just pick any of these two explainations

I think you wanted to be funny (and well done indeed),but you might also be on to something.

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Dyus

Using the formulae once contained in the Great Library, Dyus can predict all events before they happen,

When Jyggalag was cursed to take on the form of Sheogorath, he had the Great Library burned. The Madgod could not bring himself to destroy the knowledge which Dyus possessed, so instead he imprisoned him in the ruins of the Great Library, forbidding him to die.

So Sheogorath has a Librarian under his control that predicts the future. He has that since he was cursed in being Sheogorath, so he has access to knowledge bout the future in the timeframe of ESO.

Yup.

Actually, that's exactly way I was going to reference if someone asked 'how so?'

one last note bout this one..
I actually redid the acutal instance myself today. He is saying that what he wants us to do is not as difficult as say rebuilding the staff or the Numedium. He doesn't show knowledge it actually happened. He is mocking the process of doing so as really difficult and in his eyes impossible. He doesn't show any knowledge that in the future some hero actually does that.
